Dinner Party

From dinner party
Tom held his first big dinner party cooking The French Laundry cuisine. Everyone is raving about the food. Why did you hide your skills for so long, Tom? Gourmet cooking is his newest hobby and I really hope this one lasts. Every dish seen is inspired from The French Laundry cookbook and of course made from scratch by Chef Tom! Will he be the next Top Chef? It's possible, wait til you taste it! After just a few weeks of researching ingredients and recipes and learning various skills and techniques, Tom debuts his new talent at this wonderful dinner party held at Tony and Cynthia's place. We had great company, great food, and great wine, and the kids had a great time as well!

Tahoe Feb '09

From tahoe09
We spent the weekend up in Tahoe with Tom's family. Our first time up to the snow this season. Taralyn had a chance to take ski lessons this time but seemed to do better with her Daddy teaching her on the 2nd day. She really improved from last year and got so much attention on the ski runs. Tyler enjoyed hanging out with all the uncles and aunties and watching everyone ski and snowboard.

Taralyn is getting much better her second season.  She can now ride the lifts and take the green runs with us!
